All's Well, That Ends Well
All's Well, That Ends Well PAROLLES. Noble heroes, my sword and yours are kin. Good sparks and lustrous, a word, good metals. You shall find in the regiment of the Spinii one Captain Spurio, with his cicatrice, an emblem of war, here on his sinister cheek; it was this very sword entrench’d it. Say to him I live; and observe his reports for me.
FIRST LORD. We shall, noble captain.
PAROLLES. Mars dote on you for his novices!
[Exeunt Lords.]
What will ye do?
BERTRAM. Stay the king.
PAROLLES. Use a more spacious ceremony to the noble lords; you have restrain’d yourself within the list of too cold an adieu. Be more expressive to them; for they wear themselves in the cap of the time; there do muster true gait; eat, speak, and move, under the influence of the most receiv’d star; and though the devil lead the measure, such are to be followed. After them, and take a more dilated farewell.
BERTRAM. And I will do so.
PAROLLES. Worthy fellows, and like to prove most sinewy sword-men.
[Exeunt Bertram and Parolles.]
Enter Lafew.
LAFEW. Pardon, my lord [kneeling], for me and for my tidings.
KING. I’ll fee thee to stand up.
